open Ballad of a Ghostie (RP) 1 x 1 with Lawyer Slip

[Ghostie Brightlight]

It had been a week and a half since the apocalypse started, and Ghostie felt lonely, she pondered what possibly she could do, and she realized that she may as well try to bond with her two new....friends? Saviours? 

Well, they were definitely helpful, that was for sure, they had managed to get supplies through this whole thing, very resourceful, and since Scorp was a changeling, it was even more helpful.

So she trotted up to talk to Scorp, "Hey" she said.

*Scorp turned around to find his eyes in the gaze of that light blue unicorn that Slipstream had saved about a week ago. Deep down he felt scared and afraid, filled with self-hatred. But looking at this unicorn gave him a new feeling… Calmness? No. Impossible! He hadn’t felt calm since… Whatever, he pushed it off and turned his focus towards the unicorn.*

oO(Ok Scorp, you can do this, just say hey back, that’s all you have to do.)

”Where?”

oO(Nice job dingus. One of the lamest jokes in the book, the old “Hey!” “WHERE?!” Joke. Gods this won’t end well.)

[Ghostie Brightlight]

Ghostie raised an eyebrow at that, but then giggled when she realized, "You're stressed out huh, I know I've been," 

She sat down beside him, "I've been meaning to ask how you both got here, and how your friend was able to find me," 

[Scorpionus]

oO(Don’t overshare)

”He was out scavenging, saw you in trouble and saved you. And it’s a bit complicated as to how we got here.”

[Ghostie Brightlight]

She was about to tell how she got here when something appeared out of the corner of her eye, she shrieked, but calmed down, it was only her brother's spirit, "OOP" she cried looking back at Scorp for his reaction.

*Scorp had a face of confusion until he noticed something out of the corner of his eyes. A few other ponies shot some confused, concerned, and even a few annoyed glares. Scorp glared at them*

”Knock it off! She’s just scared!”

*He turned his attention back to her.*

”Sorry about that.”

"Y-You see him too?" She stuttered, she looked at her brother's ghost again, which floated forward towards Scorp. 

"Please tell me you see him,"

“The charming looking ghost that looks a lot like you only older? Yeah I can see him.”

"No way" she gasped, Spooky's spirit was waving excitedly at the prospect of being seen by somepony else. 

Ghostie tried to look past him, but couldn't ignore his silliness, "How can you see him?" she asked, stunned.

[Scorpionus]

“I bathed in the rays of a blood moon for five months and after doing that I found I could communicate and see the dead that still roam the earth.”

[Ghostie Brightlight]

"Well, that's my brother, I think he's excited you can see him," she glared at her brother waving both arms as if he was stranded on a deserted island seeing a boat. 

"I'm sorry about him," she sighed.

[Scorpionus]

*Scorp turned around to see her brother waving like he was signaling somone “OVER HERE” and collapsed with laughter.*

”You know if you wanted to talk I could”

[Ghostie Brightlight]

Spooky came over, "Hiya, I noticed you could see me! Are you one of Ghostie's friends? I've been out for a little bit, spirit world problems, so I haven't been around much," 

Ghostie looked embarrassed by her brother, if he WAS going to be her friend, it was ruined now.

[Scorpionus]

“Actually we haven’t known each other very long. Good to meet you though Mr. Uhhhh, I don’t believe I ever caught your name…”

[ThePinkestofPones 6,489]

"Spooky, Spooky Brightlight, nice to meet you, ummm, Scorp, I think Ghostie told me it was," 

[Scorpionus]

“Yup. That’s me alright.”

[Ghostie Brightlight]

"Okay, Spooky, that's enough from you," she sighed, as he poofed away, "Again I am so sorry," she laughed. 

[Scorpionus]

“Sorry for what? That’s the first friendly ghost I’ve spoken to in five years.”

[Ghostie Brightlight]

"Wait, really? I didn't know ghosts were mostly villainous, I thought they were like Spooky, or the...other three, I don't know their names," she would thank Spooky later for making this conversation less rocky.

[Scorpionus]

“No. At least not the ones I’ve seen around. They’re quite vicious.”

*He shuddered*

[Ghostie Brightlight]

"Oh, okay, I haven't met many ghosts, so I don't have much experience with them as a whole, so the ghosts I HAVE met are basically my friends," she babbled, was she talking too much? Too little? This was making her nervous, and she felt she was doing something wrong

[Scorpionus]

“Huh, interesting, I haven’t had the best experiences with them.

oO(Oh gods I can tell she’s really nervous. Stupid freaking emotion sixth changeling sense. Wait… WHAT IF SHE’S A CHANGELING AND CAN TELL HOW PARANOID I AM?! WHAT IF SHE CAN READ MINDS?!?!?!?! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!! NOTHING IS HERE!!!!! ONLY US THOUGHT BUBBLES!!!!! EMPTY EMPTY THOUGHT BUBBLES. YEAH THATS WHAT WE’RE GOING WITH.)

[Ghostie Brightlight]

"I suppose I should stop rambling, I just get really nervous sometimes, I haven't talked to anyone since Slipstream rescued me, so I'm on edge," she laid down on the ground, sighing in exhaustion.

[Scorpionus]

“That’s not the best of ideas, and that’s how most folks go insane.”

[Ghostie Brightlight]

"It's just been so long since I've had an actual conversation with someone new, I had roommates once where I came from, but we all got split up," she said, she gently chewed her bottom lip absently.
